Little White Dress

February 16, 2016 By Ruthie Ridley 59 Comments

Gosh, how is it already Wednesday?! Hump day is here and for the first time in ages I am not dying for the weekend to come!  Don’t get me wrong, I am super excited about this weekend, but I am enjoying this week so far.  It helps that Ben is home, and I have enjoyed having my eldest home from school due to the President’s Day holiday! We have done some fun things together and it has been super sweet and mostly restful! In fact, this past Monday, Ben gave me the “day off” and I really got to take it easy.  It is amazing what a chill day can do for your mind, body and soul!

Guys, I am loving this Bohemian Tunic Dress I am rocking below.  I am most comfortable wearing dresses when it comes to going out and dressing up.  I like freedom and comfort! I recently had a friend say, “You look great in white!!”  You know when someone compliments you and it makes you want to lean in that direction, always!?! Yea, so now when I get the chance to choose white, I do now, because I was told, that white looks great with my complexion lol! Also, I am so incredibly glad that the “no white after labor day” rule has gone out the window!! Winter whites are lovely and beautiful and they make me happy!

Just an FYI ladies, you can enjoy 15% off of any purchase using the code XORUTHIE at fashionjunkee.com. Don’t miss out on these already affordable prices!! Much love,

Ruthie xo

I honestly went back and forth on sharing this but I honestly went back and forth on sharing this but why not 🤪. I left the worst ones out 😅

Online hate is wild to me. People behind a screen saying whatever they want not realizing it actually affects real people.

I posted a simple cute video of Ben and I going from regular clothes to our work uniforms. it went viral, which is a chance you take so I got a lot of love which I’m thankful for but a lot of hate as well.. these were all strangers, people who don’t know that we’ve been married almost 18 years, have a beautiful family, genuinely love each other, and love what we do and the people we serve 👮‍♂️ 👩🏾‍⚕️ 🩺 

You expect it to some extent but I didn’t realize how much words could still affect me…I’m 41 almost 42. It really doesn’t matter how old you are words still hit.

I’m not sharing this for sympathy just a reminder before you leave a mean comment on someone’s page whether it’s a stranger, someone you know, or someone with a big platform think twice. Words matter & they  impact people more than you think.

And don’t worry I got a new wig this week 😝💀🤣

This time last year I was unexpectedly renewing my This time last year I was unexpectedly renewing my Nursing 🩺👩🏾‍⚕️ license after leaving my job in 2020 and spending five years at home with my kids creating content full time. To say I was shocked to be reentering the workforce is an understatement. Sometimes life shifts and you just have to roll with it 😮‍💨

I am SO thankful I had the opportunity to go back to work but it was hard. I felt like I failed in my business & I was down BAD 😝 But I realized something….God makes NO MISTAKES.

I LOVE my current job & I STILL get to create content, but now it feels more authentic and true to who I am😌

I am dancing because I can & because I am thankful. Your life can change SO much in a year, overnight or In a MOMENT. Trust God with your life. He will NEVER let you down 🤍
The Cop 👮‍♂️/ Nurse 👩🏾‍⚕️Comb The Cop 👮‍♂️/ Nurse 👩🏾‍⚕️Combo😝!!! You already know life is crazy, there is no “work-life balance” & we have stories to exchange for dayyys!!! 

If you’re new here, then I’ll give you a little bit of a backstory but also if you’ve been here for a while because a lot has changed in the last year 🤪. 

I became a nurse at 19 after graduating high school early, raised in a very purpose driven Jamaican home. Nursing was never just a job for me. It was provision, connection, and a way to serve people from all walks of life.

In 2020, I stepped away from nursing to pursue content creation full time, and it truly felt like a dream!!! The biggest blessing was the time it gave me with my family. Being present, raising my kids, and soaking in every moment 🥲

Then almost exactly a year ago, May 15, God called me back to nursing, and I couldn’t believe it. The transition was not easy, but it has been one of the greatest blessings. My heart is so full, and I have never felt more aligned in what I do.

God knows what He is doing. He makes no mistakes 🤍 Where are my nurses, law enforcement, and first responders at 🙋🏾‍♀️
